Urantia Book Forum : Discussion Board : Study Group

Hello all,

I was just wondering, does anybody know where or how to get there hands on some Urantia merchandise? I want some cool bumper stickers, window stickers, maybe a tee shirt? I want some conversation starters in my home. One of my best friends (brother Jacob Dix) I have known for about 10 years or so, he is the person who introduced me to the Urantia book. He lives in Sweeden now but before he left he sold me a copy of his portrait of Jesus on the cross, It's the radest thing I have ever seen before. He calls it Resolution, meaning definite in purpose, and the attention to detail which is what his art is. Anyway he will be donating this to the Urantia Foundation soon and I am thrilled to have one of the copies of it. Soon all of us will be able to see it as it will belong to the community of urantia faith believers. Back to the subject WHERE CAN I GET SOME COOL STUFF???

links, wesites, phone numbers, all that kind of stuff will help me to get some cool stuff. Thank you brothers/sisters

Peace to all

Love brother Dave

Hello Dave, i only know of two websites, but they may be out of date and possibly no merchandise on them either, hey maybe you could go into business and make your own....

Hi Dave

I know what you mean, I myself have wondered that. There is nothing around that I could find. Its funny because in the last couple of days Ive been thinking of producing a sevenfold team tshirt with some reference to the ancient places.

Something like a circlular badge with Dalamatia * Dilmun * Persian Gulf wrapped around an outer circle with a sevenfold team or something in the centre! Like an ensign on the right breast. Once the design is right, print the badge on a tshirt transfer, then iron on the transfer. I reckon that would be cool. No to mention a web address.

Why Im thinking of this is because I want to do the will of the Father full time existing on tshirts.

But do you think Im wrong if I commit to do something like this. Last thing I want to do is taint this research because its pure stuff.

You know that could be helpful in letting me concerntrate solely on the places rather than working for somebody else which only serves like a distraction sometimes. Anyway just some thoughts.

Sevens

contact George Sammis in Mason City Iowa- he owns a very large t-shirt factory. He's also involved with the Brotherhood of Man library. The Fellowship could probably put you in touch with him, but of course you might have to buy enough to supply all of Australia.

brother dave

I'd look up [url]LaRayGe[/url] on this site and send him a pm. He has the most stuff I've seen. He may have some good links for you for TUB posters, pictures, treeshirts and paraphanalia. You can do a search on LaRayGe in the author field and it will pull up his posts than you can PM him. And check with Squarecircles.com and Urantia Foundation site.

LarryW on this site might know places you can pcik stuff up.

God bless you Brother!

Hi

Hey thanks everyone for your suggestions and encouragement in the idea. Its funny the idea has been in my mind for a while but recently its been coming into my mind more so. Its when I saw brother Dave's post I was immediately quickened in my heart with those T-shirt thoughts.

However, I still feel in my heart a little perplexed when remember Jesus in the temple throwing out the money changers for despoiling the ideals of the father. Also in some script somewhere, it eludes that the final mystery in presented with out reward.

If this research is right on the money, would I be skirting the line by selling merchandise. I don't want to spoil anything.

Then again I walk in faith like the next guy and there is a reason why I have been thinking in this direction. Its not thoughts of grandeur or money but more of excitement in telling and sharing with the whole world the great mystery on the run. A t-shirt would certainly stimulate thinking and perhaps conversation.

A T-shirt pertaining to the ancient places would be an excellent talking point that would provide a solid base and would lead directly to the UB.

Plus it would involve people in the on the run mystery that leads to the Father. I would say its a point of proclamation, a test of faith considering we have to go out there first and physically find things. It also involves all religions as they behold fragments of this journey in their books, that's the best part, it can identified where people of different religions can relate to it. It part of the refining and expansion of religion.

What about some captions you could have on the T-shirt.

The Ensign "The test of man" or "The final mystery" or "The great mystery" or "All that is hidden shall be revealed" I like that "Son of man" caption.

The Badge on the right breast with the Sevenfold marker with

"All that is hidden shall be revealed"
and a web address

People would be saying there goes the man of great mystery ahahahaahaahaa!

I reckon people would actually approach people wearing the T-shirt and ask questions.

Its a walking witness to the father and points indirectly to the UB through the ancient mystery and people can go to the web address and seek the truth through the journey.

It also thrusts the "The Quest for the Seven commands" to the foreground.

Just the prospect and thoughts of the whole thing makes me feel quite inspired about the whole idea.

If people want to support the research buy a t-shirt and eventually other merchandise, if one likes. It could be that intriguing and interesting that it could fund an expedition or part thereof. I think there would be enough pathways in caption form on the t-shirt that would inspire man and where he may buy a t-shirt to support the journey!

What a journey it could be for the individual through the t-shirt in a personal way leading to the Father of Heaven.

In the next couple of weeks Ill design a badge and go through the process and see how it looks. Take some photos where can people can make suggestions and perhaps improve the look or idea.

It could be part of the plan where we go in faith. Its all for the Father and mankind.

When we are happy with the design and I get some supply, run it through ebay/paypal as a tester and see how it develops. If there is a demand then it could be licensed to a t-shirt company who can supply a country and help support the journey.

It could be interesting and would give opportunity for angels to do there work with people.

Thanks majeston for your encouragement in the idea III work on it more and also thanks Dave for your support with the idea.

What you raised brother Dave really quickened me and you are right there is no UB merchandise at all. I would love to have a cool bumper sticker or a jacket with a cool ensign.

Maybe we can all create something and add to the merchandise idea. Perhaps the symbolism of the Father in heaven can be expressed in this way that leads to something solid, measurable and very real

Maybe all our thoughts is a good path and part of the direction of the Father. We can only go on faith.

For me, if something like this took off I would be really excited and happy where my energy levels would soar like on the wings of an eagle.

right on!! Glory to the Father in the kingdom of Heaven for all these great blessings.

(By they way sorry for the spelling mistakes on the first take of this post. Too early in the morning.)

Any tommorrow im going away for a week for some work and a break. When I come back refreshed we can work on some of these ideas if you like. No worries!!

All the best everyone.

Hello again Brother,

I think you hit the nail on the head with the desire to promote love on a tee shirt or bumper sticker I mean why not? Christianity has the whole "Not of this world" thing going on and in a way that only partly explains a great message in my idea. People who are lost in there own beliefs and religions usually buy a tee shirt, then a bumper sticker, then make it to church on Sunday, all without taking any responsibility to there own spiritual progression. They make it more a social event and belive that since they come every sunday and show a cool sticker on there car then they are rid of resposibility to do more.

I know that the father is preparing me and all of my faith based brothers and sisters to spread the word, to do more, to serve our bretheren. I know in my heart that a non intrusive tee shirt or bumper sticker would be a great conversation starter. I also believe that we should seek a message that does not demote anothers religion or beliefs just enhance them through the power we all feel when being embrassed by the fathers love. Im my opinion its a concience feeling, a sublime understanding, and a spiritual up lifter.

Brother Sevens don't worry about feeling like the money changers, as long as you don't setup shop in anyone's church, or worship area the father knows what our intentions are and can see the fruits of our branches grow in abundance when we all seek to spread the word through any medium. I am very glad to have met you brother and I am very interested in supporting the idea as well as the means to make this ordeal happen.


Peace to us all

Love brother Dave
